Mr. Derek Tierney:

I have given the Deputy an update to the question as to where we are with our detailed design, our health planning co-ordinator and where we are likely to get to with that detailed design and planning permission. I assure the Deputy that we are moving as fast and as hard as we can in the context of public procurement. We are not waiting. We are developing a surgical hub response in both areas as well, as an intermediate step.
